Surah Introduction
Editing: Surah Introduction
Description
<p>This Surah concentrates on some important moral and spiritual principles. It emphasizes that human beings always need divine guidance. Without the guidance of Allah, humans end up in evil, sin and misery. Human beings must have good relations with each other and live in a society built on the principles of faith, justice and morality. The Surah talks about the evils of pride and arrogance and urges human beings to reflect on Allah's signs and be humble before Him in prayers.</p> <p>Sections:</p> <ol> <li>Isra' journey of the Prophet to Jerusalem.</li> <li>Human beings are hasty. Reward and punishment all have their time.</li> <li>Moral and spiritual principles are emphasized - Worship of Allah and respect of parents.</li> <li>Moral principles - children's rights, decency, right of life, orphans' property, honesty in dealings, humbleness.</li> <li>Tawhid is the basic message of the Qur'an.</li> <li>Gentleness is enjoined.</li> <li>Satan's pride against man and his pledge to mislead human beings.</li> <li>Every one will be brought on the Day of Judgement with his/her own deeds.</li> <li>Emphasis on prayers, and on the reading of the Qur'an.</li> <li>The Qur'an is inimitable.</li> <li>Non-believers have lame arguments against accepting the Prophets.</li> <li>The attitude of Pharaoh towards Prophet Moses and the signs that he showed. </li> </ol> <p>The Surah takes the name ‘al-Isra’ from the first Ayat of the Surah. “Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa”. The Isra in ‘al-Isra wal-Mi’raj’ – is the first part of the journey which took place from Makkah to Jerusalem – the ‘Mir’aj’ being the ascension from Jerusalem to the Heavens.</p> <p>The surah is also referred as ‘Bani Israel’ – Children of Israel.</p> <p>There are 111 Ayat in this Surah.</p>
